Sheet Web?

Constructed on a fence at the Merced National Wildlife Refuge. These non-sticky webs are designed to entangle or stop flying prey in the upper portion, after which the prey often falls onto the lower "sheet" where the spider awaits. Notice the loose curved threads strung between the stiff vertical strands. This web was about 6" long. Quite a piece of engineering!
